Tornado Relief Granted to Diocese of Mississippi



Posted: 3/30/2001

Episcopal Relief and Development has granted $5,000 to the Diocese of Mississippi in response to two tornadoes in Northern Mississippi in February.

The $5,000 in seed money will be used to start an ecumenical group to assist residents affected by tornadoes in Tupelo and Pontotoc County who did not receive assistance from other relief agencies or insurance companies.
